In order to sidestep the obvious problem of not having any evidence, theists must necessarily place god “outside” the realm of the material world. But this move is no less problematic, because theists need their god to have the very specific characteristics and attributes of a person who does, in fact, exist in the material world. God must be able to do things. He must be able to think, feel and behave; plan, design, and create; make choices, communicate, and intervene - in short, exist - in an almost identical fashion to human beings within the material world. Otherwise, they’re only arguing for deism at most. They want to allow their god to reap all the benefits of a material existence without being held to any of the natural consequences of god actually existing, i.e. any evidence of his existence whatsoever.
